Police Arrests Journalist of News Programme Addressing Police-Triad Alleged Collusion during Yuen Long 7.21 Triad Attack
On the afternoon of Nov 3, 2020, police arrested RTHK's "Hong Kong Connection" journalist Bao Choy Yuk-ling, who had produced special issues addressing police brutality and misconduct.
According to iCable News, Choy was arrested for violating the Road Traffic Ordinance. According to Now News, police claimed that Choi looked up car ownership from car plate number on the suspicion of falsifying statement.
"Hong Kong Connection" is a popular news documentary produced by RTHK, a public broadcaster which has been under the attack of the authorities and Beijing loyalists.
In 2019 and 2020, the programme featured two episodes on the 7.21 Yuen Long Triad attack on civilians. This incident that happened on July 21, 2019 was referred by many to as a police-Triad collusion, for that the police had allegedly turned a blind eye to the white-clad gangsters' brutal attack on civilians.
In the episode "7.21 Yuen Long Nightmare" aired in July 2019, the programme collected a large amount of surveillance TV footage, pointing out that the police had patrolled around the areas where the white-clad gangsters gathered that afternoon.
In the episode "Who Controls the Truth" aired in July 2020, the programme displayed that CID police did not intervene at all while walking among the white-clad gangsters armed with weapons.
Choy, who was arrested by the police this afternoon, took part in the production of both episodes. The police also searched Choy's residence.

Television documentary leading to HK journalist’s arrest shortlisted for Asian Television Awards
On November 3, 2020, Hong Kong Police arrested RTHK journalist Choy Yuk-ling (a.k.a. #BaoChoy) for violating the Road Traffic Ordinance, concerning searches done at an openly accessible Transport Department database on car owner information. The searches were carried out for a television documentary about an alleged police-mobster collusion in July 2019.
The television documentary, titled "7.21 Who Owns the Truth", showed white-clad mobsters carrying weapons gathered in Yuen Long town area before attacking passengers of West Rail train at Yuen Long Station. Police officers sighted at neighbouring scenes failed to intervene and showed friendly gestures towards them.
A day after Bao Choy was arrested, the said television documentary she produced was reportedly shortlisted for the 25th Asian Television Awards, a substantial recognition of Choy's professionalism.
[Editor’s Notes
The Asia Television Awards, held since 1996, are the most prominent and recognised events in the Asian television industry, with a judging panel of more than 60 professionals from different regions.]

#Interview: The last faith of Hong Kong Journalist Bao Choy Yuk-ling - selfless and fearless
Before interviewing Choy Yuk-ling, some of my colleagues who knew her well said that Bao (her nickname in the journalism industry) would talk a lot about news but might not much about herself.
After the interview I realised that she was not hiding herself intentionally. Instead she had just injected her passion, faith, and most of her time into journalism. Speaking of her days after the suspension of her duty, she said, “My vocation as a journalist cannot be separated from my personal values. If I can no longer be a journalist, I can imagine the value of my life will become zero.” To her, nothing is more worthy to talk about that journalism.

A year being in the US before returning, Bao Choy: Do my best to HK with my strength
Bao Choy, the director of TV programme Hong Kong Connection at RTHK, was told that she made false statement on Vehicle Registration in one of the episodes. She was convicted at a magistrate's court last year and was charged HKD6000.
Bao Choy applied for an appeal to the High Court. She indicated after the trial that searching for Vehicle Registration involves public right to know; but followed by her accusation, many news agencies no longer allow their journalist to search in the registration list. She hoped to do her best for the freedom of the press.
Choy received a Nieman Fellowship at Harvard University last year and had studied for a year from last August. It is to investigate the independence, the future development and the survival of news agency.
She recently returned to Hong Kong. She answered, "Hong Kong is my home, where I love. I hope to do something for Hong Kong with my reachable power" when she was asked for the reason of returning.
She will wait for the judge to decide her case with peace in mind while she is not suitable to comment. "To do what I can do." The appeal not only is for her individual case but also involves public right to know, to let the court decide whether the registration aligns with Hong Kong legal spirit.
She believes the original judge has an extremely narrow interpretation to the law. The registration record has been very useful and valuable to the public interest for the past decades, including high officials getting vehicles before taking over the seat.
From her knowledge, the majority of the news agencies has stopped their journalists from searching the registration, having a negative impact to the industries. She hopes she can do something for the freedom of press with the case.
